This striking early 20th-century poster promotes the transatlantic routes of the Cunard Line, one of the most prestigious maritime companies of its time. Advertising travel between Liverpool, New York, and Boston via Queenstown (now Cobh, Ireland), the image captures both the grandeur of ocean liners and the emotional intensity of departure in the age of steam. At the center of the composition is a colossal ocean liner, viewed from a low angle that magnifies its scale and presence. The ship’s dark hull stretches across the frame, punctuated by rows of illuminated portholes, while four towering smokestacks release clouds into the sky. This perspective transforms the vessel into a symbol of industrial power and technological achievement—an embodiment of modern progress at the dawn of the 20th century. In the foreground, a dense crowd gathers along the dock, rendered as a mass of small, indistinct figures. Their presence introduces a human dimension to the scene, evoking the emotions tied to transatlantic travel: farewells, hope, anticipation, and uncertainty. The contrast between the monumental ship and the anonymous crowd reinforces the idea of migration and movement on a grand scale. The poster’s composition is carefully structured to guide the viewer’s eye. The diagonal line of the ship’s hull creates a sense of motion, as if the liner is about to depart. The typography at the bottom—bold and clearly legible—anchors the image, emphasizing the Cunard name while listing the key destinations. This combination of visual drama and informational clarity reflects the effectiveness of early travel advertising. The color palette is rich yet restrained, dominated by deep blues, blacks, and warm industrial tones. These hues contribute to the atmospheric quality of the scene, suggesting early morning or evening light at the harbor. Subtle details, such as the reflections in the water and the architectural elements of the port, enhance the realism and immerse the viewer in the setting. During this period, transatlantic travel was not only a practical necessity but also a powerful cultural experience. Shipping lines competed to present themselves as reliable, modern, and prestigious. Posters like this one played a crucial role in shaping public perception, turning ocean liners into icons of opportunity and connection between continents. Ultimately, this Cunard Line poster...

Running at the ring, very rare and large representation of the medieval horse game Dutch ar. 1720 unsigned Oil on canvas / relined Size: 42,5 x 114 cm Frame: 47 x 118 cm This is an extremely rare museum piece from the 18th century! Viewing and collection by prior appointment is possible. Authenticity is guaranteed in writing. Running at the ring, riding at the ring or tilting at the ring is an equestrian tournament activity originally practiced at European royal courts and likely derived from other lance games like quintain. It gained new popularity at Natural Chimneys near Mount Solon, Virginia, possibly as early as the 1820s, and since 1962, has been the state sport of Maryland. A similar contest, the corrida de sortija, is held in Argentina where it is considered a gaucho sport derived from the Spanish tradition of medieval tournaments. This version of a lance game or quintain could be played in teams, and the riders sometimes dressed in exotic fancy costume as a spectacle at weddings or other court festivals. Costumes for a 1570 tournament in Prague were designed by Giuseppe Arcimboldo. At Munich in February 1568, at a match held at the wedding of Renata of Lorraine and William V, Duke of Bavaria, the spectators were entertained by the costumed aristocratic riders and professional Italian comedians. Henry of Navarre bought steel rings and painted lances for a masquerade in 1576. There are many records of running at the ring at the Scottish and Tudor courts. At court, the prize was often a diamond ring presented by a lady. A tournament of tilting at the ring continues to be held in Denmark at Sønderborg annually in July and the Ringridermuseet is dedicated to the sport. It is also a tradition to have variations of this game at summer get-togethers in small Danish villages. Here they will often use anything but a horse, such as bike, lawnmower, tractor or even other people. Modern ring tilting tournaments have also been held in Croatian Istria since at least the 1970s. Running at the ring, usually referred to as a ring tournament, ring jousting, or simply as jousting, has been practiced in parts of the American South since at least the 1840s. Ring tournaments are still held in Virginia, West Virginia, North Carolina, and South Carolina, but most frequently in Maryland, which made this form of jousting its state sport in 1962. Costume fabrics for Henry VIII of England to run at the ring at Greenwich Palace in January and February 1516 included velvets, damasks, satins, and sarcenets. He performed at Richmond Palace for the Venetian ambassador in May 1517. In February 1547, English soldiers at Boulogne held a tournament to celebrate the coronation of Edward VI. Instead of tilting, they held courses of running at the ring. One team of six were dressed "like Turks". John...
